USIA Angels: Finn Nobrega

I want to thank all of you from the bottom of my heart for what you’ve done for our son.

Finn was diagnosed with progressive infantile scoliosis at 6 months of age. Early treatment is crucial with this
condition and involves having a series of casts for the next 1 to 2 years.

We are a family who spends most of our time off by the water, whether it is at one of the many beaches in our home state of RI or spending time at our favorite lake in NH. In May ‘18, Finn’s first cast was applied and my frantic search to find a drysuit that would fit my 15 month old baby began. That’s when I came across your website and I saw that there were children in customized dry suits made by your amazing team. I first spoke with Tripp who explained to me more in detail about the USIA angels… What your company does for these children is absolutely incredible. You’ve given my son and many other children a sense of normalcy and freedom around water they wouldn’t otherwise have.

I want to thank each and every one of you involved in the making of Finn’s drysuit. We are forever grateful for your generosity, hard work, and beautiful craftsmanship.
